Our library recently hosted a talk and extensive display about the life of Roy Chapman Andrews who grew up in nearby Beloit, Wisconsin. I missed the talk, but checked out this photobiography of Andrews. He was a fascinating man, possibly the inspiration for Indiana Jones. This book is a good introduction to his life and explorations, and includes many photographs from his expeditions.

Dragon Bones and Dinosaur Eggs was very interesting, it is a photo biography of an archeologist. I originally only bought it as a companion to Dragon Hunter, which is a biography of the same man Roy Chapman Andrews with regard to his central Asiatic expeditions, and to get my Amazon order up to an amount that qualified for free shipping. They arrived in separate shipments and as a result, I have read the photo biography (there are words as well, so no jokes about only reading the book with "pictures"), but have yet to read Dragon Hunter!
